The Dress

    There is something about knowing that I get to try on my wedding dress today that is suspenseful. I am so excited, but at the same time worry if Lucas will love it as much as I do. This has kind of the same relation to my anticipation for him to start Med School, I am so stinking excited, but will we really end up loving it as much as we hope. My dress is being kept as secret to him as most wedding traditionalist participate in but there is a part of me that can't help but want to share something so special with him. It won't happen till the day of our wedding, but it is kind of funny that this is the ultimate secret I keep. We do share everything and make sure one another always knows our feelings wether scared or extremely happy and I think that is such a huge and wonderful part of having a great relationship as we do.

   It is funny the things we have been going through to get to where we are, including our wedding plans. Lucas reminds me all the time lets soak everything up while we are in the process of planning, but sometimes stress can take over. Then sometime fear knowing that once we are married for the first four years it's all on my shoulders, but like the details of my dress I try to keep the details of my fear to myself and know he will love me no matter what. We have done most of our planning already and it is a giant weight that has lifted from the whole process, since we are having a destination wedding though it's been easy to plan for out there because they do everything for you. But it's our reception here that has been harder, the appointments and decisions are just nuts but it sure is fun. It's great because the feeling I had when I had tried on my dress was instant love, instant relief and happiness. I smile inside every time I dream about it and that's exactly kind if how I felt when we made all of our other decisions together for all of our other wedding details.

    It's been tough, but SO fun! I love making decisions with Lucas, it's like he calms me down and that's one thing that makes me head over heels for him. I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be marrying him and I know he will love my dress just as much as I do, just like I will love Med School just as much as he will because that's what makes him happy and excited... It's about my love for him.

"Me" and my Hubby soon to be!

 
   My name is Kylie and I've started this blog to document all the wonderful and maybe sometimes not so wonderful times of my journey through being a Med School Wife. My soon to be Hubby Lucas is an incredible man and has well earned his dream of going to med school. We are also in the process of finishing our senior year of college and planning a wonderful wedding. What a great year 2012 will bring us; accomplishment & pride, the begging of a love story, saying goodbye to free time and hello to the real world. We are both prepared for Med School to be a challenging process, and I won't say Im not worried about trying to do everything right my first year of marriage and supporting a med student, but it is a path I'm ecstatic to head down. I can't wait to marry the man of my dreams and spend my life with him each day.

    A little about the "Smile's" which is a nickname we have held onto... it's kind of become a way of life for us. We have been together since our senior year of high school and developed an extremely wonderful relationship together. Lucas has known for a long time Med School would probably be a big goal he would like to accomplish someday, and I always knew there was a very large possibility I would be going through this rewarding journey in our lives by his side. We have two dogs commonly referred to as "the bears" and their names are Winnie and Elly. These two little things keep a smile on our faces and as of now primarily live with me until Lucas and I get married. We adopted Winnie our freshman year of college and Elly our junior year... and since they have the same dad they are half sisters and you would never think otherwise because they are best friends! We are getting married this summer and then shortly after I will be starting a full time job at my current employer and he will be starting school within a month or so.

   I hope you enjoy our stories, I will post the good, the bad and the funny which we can hopefully reflect back on one day a get a giggle out of.

With Love,
     Kylie "Smile"
